IN MEMORIAM

**Edward O. Keith** 

16 October 1951 – 14 September 2012 The co-editor of this book, Dr. Edward O. Keith, died shortly before it was published. He had been battling with cancer but his death came as a surprise to me because the last time

Ed was born in Berkeley, California. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Wildlife Biology and his master's degree in Physiology and Biophysics from Colorado State University in 1975 and 1978, respectively. He went on to obtain his doctoral degree in Biology in 1984 from the University of California at Santa Cruz, one of the prime academic institutions when

He moved to Miami, FL, in 1989, and held faculty positions at the University of Miami and Southeastern University of the Health Sciences, which became Nova Southeastern University. He was an associate professor at the Oceanographic Center of that institution by the time of his death. He taught numerous courses not only on marine mammalogy but also

He was known as a well-prepared, accessible teacher and received a Teacher of the Year Award for the 1994-1995 academic year. His research centered on pinnipeds and he was an active member of the Society for Marine Mammalogy, in which I shared duties with him in the Education Committee. He published numerous peer-reviewed papers in top journals and had multiple presentations at scientific conferences, many of them co-authored with his students.

we had spoken, Ed told me that he was recovering and that "everything is fine."

it comes to marine mammals research.

in biochemistry, physiology, and related subjects.
